Challenger Gevor sports a record of 30-3 (16 KO) and is perhaps best known for being on the receiving end of the Abrahammer in a spectacular KO 2 years ago. Since then Gevor actually has qualified for tonights fight with 3 straight wins including an impressive stoppage of finn Amin Asikainen in Helsinki.

Abraham's KO of Gevor is here with Henry Maske commentating:

According to german tabloid BILD it's 7 million each for Sturm and Pavlik. And it's not USD. It's euro's

That would be cool to see Pav fight in Europe cuz in the US we are too poor to have that kind of purse for these two.

I don't know if it's planned to go ahead in Germany. I think Pavlik would want more than 50/50 to go there TBH.

Oh and BILD said it was AT LEAST 7 million euros.

Gevor knocked out Asikainen. Hopefully he does well, can't see him winning though.

Didn't you say though, that Asikainen wasn't really very good?
I seem to recall that.

Gevor's a decent fighter. I mean he really only lost to the top of the heap at 154 and 160...

Asikainen's fights with Sylvester are excellent and punishing fights.
